WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. -

A man was taken into custody Tuesday following a SWAT situation that closed Burke Mill Road.

Hugo Duarte Armente, 26, was arrested around 3:30 p.m. following an incident at 3254 Burke Mill Road near the intersection of Kimel Park Drive.

No one was hurt in what Winston-Salem police called a relationship-based incident.

The incident began around 10:30 a.m. when a woman said her estranged boyfriend assaulted her, pointed a gun at her and threatened to kill her.

As officers were taking the woman to the magistrate, and after the residence had been cleared, police received a tip that Armente was hiding in the attic, Winston-Salem police said.

After police tried unsuccessfully to contact Armente at the home and in person, a SWAT team used distraction devices to enter and search the home, police said.

Police used search equipment to find the man hiding in a corner of the attic. The man, who had a weapon in his possession, surrendered to police and was taken into custody, said Winston-Salem police Chief Scott Cunningham.

Charges are pending, along with a bond and trial date. The man also will be served on outstanding warrants, police said.

Police were called to the same home about two months ago for a similar incident.
